Disney World reveals new look for Caribbean Beach resort
Disney has released new concept art and information for the changes taking place to the Caribbean Beach Resort at Disney World.
This includes a new entry area, an expanded market and restaurant and a revamped pool area.
The Old Port Royale area at the resort will be reimagined as the port of entry where guests will check in. This centralized location will offer resort guests more convenient access to services, amenities and dining.
Centertown Market will be expanded and enclosed, creating a quick-service restaurant with an indoor street market area. Guests will enter the space under a large palapa-like structure, accented with glowing colored light pendants made from glass bottles. The market will feature open shutters, wooden light posts, awnings, ornamentation and seating areas. Guests will also have access to the Grab n’ Go market.
Shutters, a Caribbean-inspired table-service restaurant, will be located on the waterfront of Old Port Royale. Large open shutters will allow the sun to cast a warm light into the space adorned with handmade items that appear as they’ve been found on the islands. Leaves and floral design motifs will fill the space.
Banana Cabana is a poolside bar for food and drinks. Cabana-style drapes will flank seating areas and re-purposed steel drums will illuminate a central communal table made from a wooden boat.
